| The following camp directory lists some of the summer camps for K-12 students in engineering throughout the United States and Canada that are and were previously offered. The directory lists camps that have been hosted by Universities and research centers in the past. Please note that all camps may not be offered every year and that new camps and programs are currently being added. Old or unsuccessful programs are always being eliminated or modified. A substantial number of programs specifically target minorities, women, and other groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences. The programs offered change frequently, and this database is not comprehensive. This is only meant to be a guide to aid your search for engineering education preparation tools. Many of the programs offer scholarships and may have application deadlines as early as January. If you are interested in a program, please email, call or write the organization listed for an application and the most current information available.

WEST VIRGINIA
Fairmont State University
West Virginia Aerospace and Engineering Scholars
The STEM Innovation Center at Fairmont State University in partnership with the West Virginia Aerospace and Engineering Scholars is offering a 5-day camp from August 1 through 5th, 2011. This “in-residence” camp is being offered at no cost to the students who will stay on the FSU campus and participate in a very hands-on curriculum whose goal is to launch a high altitude balloon with a scientific payload package by the end of the camp week. Students will learn about the Earth’s atmosphere, physics, sensors, microcontrollers, programming and communications through a design process.

West Virginia University Institute of Technology, Montgomery, WV
Camp STEM
Will you be a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior in high school this fall? Are you interested in science, technology, engineering, or math? Do you like a challenge that includes “hands-on” experiments and problem solving? The WVU Institute of Technology invites high school students to attend a week long exploration of possibilities for a future career in science, technology, engineering and math during Camp STEM which will be held June 13 – 19. During the week, Camp STEM brings students to the Montgomery campus for college-level instruction as well as a taste of college life.
